[TRNSYS-users] Weather information for Seville

[mcdowell at tess-inc.com]

The error you are making is that L_st for the CET is 15 degrees East
not West or -15 degrees West 

Thus the Solar Time - Standard Time =
4*(-15-5.98) + E = -83.92 + E

Considering the equation 1.5.2 from "Solar Engineering of Thermal
Processes" (by Duffie and Beckman) we will have:

hour difference with GMT---> so: L_st = 15 * 1 = 15 degrees West

21st of Dec we have n=355, so B= (n-1)360/365---> B = 349.17, therefore
E = 2.17 min (equation 1.5.3))

(L_st-L_loc) + E = 4 (15- 5.98) + 2.17 = 38.25 minutes

surprisingly, this is not we see in the curves. that is why it is
confusing for me. In the Graph the minimum Zenith angle happens at 8509:
means 14:00- How can you interpret this discrepancy?
